Federal tax law provides tax credits for up to 20 percent of qualified rehabilitation costs on historic projects. Many states have a similar program for credits of 25 percent or more of qualified costs. At GMS Surgent, we help our clients through the process from the planning stages of the historic project through the disposition of the building, enhancing the amount of tax credits earned and avoiding delays in receiving important benefits. We coordinate our services with other members of the team such as the architect, contractor and historian.
